The only difference between Bridge and Poker sized playing cards is their size. Bridge is 56 x 87mm with 3mm radius corners as standard. Bridge playing cards are strongly associated with England since the game became very popular in the 1900s and are known as the standard card size in England. Poker is 63 x 88mm with 3mm radius corners as standard. Poker playing cards are known to be the American standard card size because they started to become mass-produced in the 1800s.

All printing is done in CMYK, which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black. These four colours combined make a full colour set and produce fantastic results during print. But, there is another colour set that is commonly used by designers, known as RGB, which stands for Red, Green & Black. RGB is purely for digital art and computer screens, it can provide a much more vivid colour by controlling light in the screen. This is why when you print out a photo or document, the colours may look stronger or more vibrant on screen in comparision.

While its not possible to print in RGB, there are a few things you can do to make your colours more accurate when printing. When you're setting up your document, make sure to set it to CMYK from the start, this will stop any unbalanced colours once you've finished your design. Some printers offer fluorescent inks that can mimic the vibrancy that you can get in RGB, although they aren't an exact replica. At the end of the day, CMYK has a limited gamut range compared to RGB, but if you're ever worried about colours, contact us and we'll try our best to advise and colour match your order.
